Ok, so me and my brother got the opportunity to detail this 2002 Porsche Carrera. This car was in bad shape. There were SWIRLS everywhere, bonded paint contaminents everywhere, interior smelt like cigars with ashes all over the place. Lets just say, it was a nightmare. The paint had no shine or smoothness to it. So we were called to fix it. Process was: Wash with DAWN, clay the entire car including the windows, rewash with Mystique, dry the entire car. Next we taped off the whole car. We then started to polish the car with Meguiars M80 Speed Glaze with LC orange pad. Then we tried Blackfire scratch resistant finishing polish with the LC green constant pressure pad. Then a quick pass with Prima Amigo with the LC grey pad, then One coat of Prima Epic. Interior was vacuum with carpet cleaner, Meguiars leather cleaner and windows with Prima clarity. Sorry no shots of the interior, I forgot. Wheels were cleaned with soap and water, dried then polished with Meguiars M80, and a wipe down with Hydro. White is hard to really notice a difference with photos, but in person it was amazing. The owner was SHOCKED!!!!! Hope you enjoy. After picture 7 are the after shots.

That thing looks amazing! What are you talking about its hard to see the differance. Nice job! Quick question: when you and your brother detail, do both of you have PC's, or does one follow buffing it off while the other continues with the PC, or how do you split it up? My brother watched me detail this past weekend and wants to learn how...

Thanks, and great job.

Thank you for the comments guys!!!! My brother and I both have PC's. We both polish the car at the same time and just divide the car up into sections. We are thinking of getting a rotary, and in this situation, one would use the rotary and one would follow with the PC.

Ahh thats awesome. I think I could get through a car in half the time if I had someone to buff off all of my passes right after me. Nice job on the 911!
